SPOKANE, Wash. — The Spokane County Medical Examiner identified the inmate at the Downtown Spokane County Jail who died while being transported to the jail's medical services division.
Stanley Mudge, 54, died at the Spokane County Jail and the cause and manner of his death are still pending, according to the medical examiner.
According to county spokesperson Jared Webley, Mudge became unresponsive while being transported at about noon on Monday. Staff at the jail began treating Mudge before being relieved by Spokane City Fire and AMR, but Mudge was pronounced dead at 12:30 p.m., according to Webley.
Two doses of Narcan were administered to Mudge before he died, Webley said. Spokane County Detention Services requested assistance from the Spokane County Sheriff's Office, which stopped overseeing detention services in 2013, to carry out the investigation, Webley said. Major Crimes detectives and member of the Forensic Unit responded to process the scene and conduct interviews, according to Webley.
At least 10 inmates at the jail have died since June 2017.
